Who is your organizations top prospects?
For the Reds, we have a very, very good trio of top of the line prospects. Homer Bailey is a fireballing Texas who has drawn comparisons to Roy Oswalt and Roger Clemens. Bailey posesses one of the best curveballs in baseball today, and he should be our no. 1 starter for the next 10-15 years, provided that we can keep him. He was our top pick in 2004, as I recall. (To note, Bailey has an ERA in the low 2s in AAA ball). He'll most likely see his big-league call up around the All-Star break.
We also have a very good pair of outfielders currently playing A ball. Jay Bruce was our first round pick in 2005, and he is a very promising five tool player. His hitting progress has stunned even the front office, as he's currently batting .385 with six home runs in A ball. He's expected to move up to AA soon. I'd expect him to be at AAA Louisville by the end of 2007.
The other part in that pair is our first round pick in 2006, former Texas outfielder Drew Stubbs. Stubbs is blessed with a great combination of speed and hitting ability, and he is tearing it up at Middle Class A Dayton. He should be moved up to High Class A before June. He could end the season as high as AAA, but most likely at AA.
What about you guys?

Cameron Maybin...Andrew Miller...Brent Clevlen...Jair Jurrjens...
Apparently Maybin is one of the best position prospects in baseball.

Most of our top prospects are already up and playing in the bigs.

Jacoby Ellsbury (Johnny Damon clone), Clay Buchholz (compared to Chris Carpenter), Michael Bowden (compared to David Cone), Lars Anderson (Justin Morneau), and Brandon Moss.
Now, if that could all be correct, I'd be quite happy.

Like seps, most of ours (Alex Gordon, Billy Butler, Joakim Soria) are already playing in the Show.
As far as players still in the minors? Luke Hochevar, the best RHP out of the 2006 draft, and others like LHP Billy Buckner, LHP Tyler Lumsden, and SS Angel Sanchez. All of them are at AAA. I like Ryan Braun as well. He's already played some this year, and was sent back to AAA, but he has a 95-97 heater with movement, and throws a pretty good deuce. Derrick Robinson is a speedy outfielder that can play good D, and gets on base consistently. He's at the A level, I think.

Man, Craig Hansen and Manny Delcarmen are looking great.
Hansen: 10.0 IP, .319 BAA, 7.20 ERA Delcarmen: 15.2 IP, .299 BAA, 6.32 ERA
They also combined to give up at 14-6 lead in the 9th a couple nights ago.
Good thing Todd Helton is sucking it up this year....
.389, .518 OBP, 3 HR, 23 RBI.
I like our prospects, but we seem to be overvaluing poor ones, and undervaluing the good ones.
